ChartMill takes into account not only the Technical Rating but also assigns a Setup Rating to each stock. This rating, on a scale of 0 to 10, reflects the degree of consolidation observed based on short-term technical indicators. Currently, NYSE:VST exhibits a 9 setup rating, indicating its consolidation status in recent days and weeks.
VST has an excellent technical rating and also presents a decent setup pattern. We see reduced volatility while prices have been consolidating in the most recent period. There is a support zone below the current price at 32.01, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone. We notice that large players showed an interest for VST in the last couple of days, which is a good sign. Very recently a Pocket Pivot signal was observed. This is another positive sign.
One way to play this would be to wait for the actual breakout to happen and buy when the stock breaks out above the current consolidation zone. A possible place for a stop loss would be below this zone.
